C. the

D. no article

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Articles are used to determine whether a noun is definite or indefinite in a sentence. 'The' is used when we want to specify something definite (a particular person or thing). On the other hand, 'a' and 'an' are used when the noun we want to refer is not something specific but a general one.
Here, article 'an' is correct. It is used before a word beginning with a vowel sound. Though letter 'h' is a consonant, it begins with a silent 'h', thus, the word starts with a vowel sound 'o'.
